PANews reported on November 27th that, according to Elobservador, Tether Holdings Ltd. confirmed to the Uruguayan Ministry of Labor and Social Security (MTSS) that it will cease operations in Uruguay and lay off 30 of its 38 employees. Since entering Uruguay, Tether planned to invest $500 million, including building three data processing centers in Florida and Taqualumbo provinces, with an estimated power consumption of 165 megawatts; it also planned to build a 300-megawatt wind and solar power park. Of the total investment, over $100 million had already been secured, with an additional $50 million allocated to infrastructure construction, which will be owned by the Uruguayan Electricity Company (UTE) and the National Interconnected System. The company warned that continuing the project under current conditions is economically unfeasible. The 31.5 kV transmission contract model and associated costs in Florida have increased operating costs, despite Tether's repeated applications for more competitive pricing since November 2023. Among the proposed alternatives, the company suggested switching to 150 kV transmission and amending the power purchase agreement, a solution that could have been economically beneficial for Uruguay's power company and avoided unnecessary construction work.PANews reported on November 27th that, according to Elobservador, Tether Holdings Ltd. confirmed to the Uruguayan Ministry of Labor and Social Security (MTSS) that it will cease operations in Uruguay and lay off 30 of its 38 employees.

Analyst Predicts ‘Uptober’ Rally for BTC Regardless of FOMC Decision

Analyst Predicts ‘Uptober’ Rally for BTC Regardless of FOMC Decision

The post Analyst Predicts ‘Uptober’ Rally for BTC Regardless of FOMC Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin traded at $116,236 as of 14:04 UTC on Sept. 17, up about 1% in the past 24 hours, holding above a key level as markets await the Federal Reserve’s policy announcement. Analysts’ comments Dean Crypto Trades noted on X that bitcoin is only about 7% above its post-election local peak, while the S&P 500 has risen 9% and gold has surged 36% during the same period. He said bitcoin has compressed more than those assets, making it likely to lead the next larger move, though it could form a “lower high” before extending further. He added that ether could join in once it breaks $5,000 and enters price discovery. Lark Davis pointed to bitcoin’s history around September FOMC meetings, saying every September decision since 2020 — except during the 2022 bear market — has preceded a strong rally. He stressed that the pattern is less about the Fed’s rate choice itself and more about seasonal dynamics, arguing that bitcoin tends to thrive in this period heading into “Uptober.” CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis According to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis data model, bitcoin rose about 0.9% during the Sept. 16–17 analysis window, climbing from $115,461 to $116,520. BTC reached a session high of $117,317 at 07:00 UTC on Sept. 17 before consolidating. Following that peak, bitcoin tested the $116,400–$116,600 range multiple times, confirming it as a short-term support zone. In the final hour of the session, between 11:39 and 12:38 UTC, BTC attempted a breakout: prices moved narrowly between $116,351 and $116,376 before spiking to $116,551 at 12:34 on higher volume. This confirmed a consolidation-breakout pattern, though the gains were modest. Overall, bitcoin remains firm above $116,000, with support around $116,400 and resistance near $117,300.
